The bassy, high value Audio-Technica ATH-M40X are now even cheaper

Audio Technica ATH-M40X

Audio-Technica makes some of the best headphones money can buy, but this brand is also notable for making some of the highest value cans out there. In fact, many of the best Audio-Technica head-fi comes in at less than $100, and the best of the budget bunch -- the bassy Audio-Technica ATH-M40X monitor headphones – are on sale right now for even cheaper. Read on to find out more about the ATH-M40X and how you can save.

Many high-end headphones run well north of $300, and while many of those are more than worth it to audiophiles, most people understandably don’t feel like dropping that much cash on something that most use for casual music listening and other entertainment. The Audio-Technica ATH-M40X hits a nice sweet spot, punching well above their weight when it comes to price -- they’re a great choice for someone who wants to keep things under a Benjamin but still desires a better set of headphones than the run-of-the-mill $20 headsets that often deliver a tinny or muddy soundstage while being uncomfortable to wear for extended periods of listening.

Shopping the best headphone deals will turn up a number of options from a wide variety of headphone brands, but if you’re interested in what Apple has to offer in terms of premium audio, the Apple AirPods Max are where you’ll want to turn. The AirPods Max are Apple’s top-of-the-line headphones, and while they churn out some impressive audio experiences, they also churn out a hefty price point. With the rumors of AirPods Max 2 going on you’ll be able to find some decent AirPods Max deals out there. We’ve done that hefty lifting for you, however, and have laid out the best AirPods Max deals below. You’ll find deals on both new and refurbished AirPods Max, but click quickly if one of these deals works for you, as Apple deals can be unpredictable and we don’t know how long these will last.
AirPods Max -- $519, were $549

The AirPods Max are Apple's first attempt at a set of over-the-ear headphones. They got a lot of things right. We love these headphones, even when compared against some audiophile options that prioritize sound quality. The AirPods Max have awesome noise cancelling. Everything Apple learned with the earbud-style AirPods works even better with the cup style of the AirPods Max. Along with great ANC comes a great transparency mode. With a twist of the Max's massive knob, you'll go from complete silence to feeling like you're not wearing headphones at all. The audio on phone calls is great as well, and they pair better with the iPhone than any non-Apple headphones could ever hope to.
